My dear Sir:
I have a supplemental paper sent in to Registrar General of the War P. of Rev- olutionary ancestor James Fuller . I have been unable to obtain the dates of his marriage or death and they want me to prove that ancestral Almond Fuller who was born in Sharps Conn. is his son.
James Fuller's Revolutionary record reads; - James Fuller enlisted for three years and was a private in Captain Granger's Co. Transferred to Invalid Corps April 23- 1783. Recd pay in April 1st, 1781. Made Application for pension.
Is there any thing in the pension records telling children of Revolutionary soldiers?

This paper has been in the National Registrar's office for eight years and was lost. This work it has been found and I would like to furnish the desired information as soon as possible.
Thanking you in advance for your previous courtesies and trusting I may hear from you soon, I am
respectfully yours
